Sisters, sisters, There were never such devoted sisters...



I happened to come across this lil treasure today and could not resist attaching it to my blog, for my sisters are my life.

This picture perfectly captures the beauty of sisterhood...

our sisterhood.

Whenever someone sees a family picture or is bombarded by five (including my mom)lively young women at the grocery store, the first question is usually: "ALL GIRLS?"

and almost instantly, it is followed by an enthusiatical, "YESSSSS"

i love my sisters. i love my family. i love my patient and incredible father, who in all honesty is usually the ring-leader of the laughter -he is hysterical!!!!

sisters are my life.

secret time:

Secretly, almost EVERY night you will find all four of us curled up next to the fire in the front room, equipped with our blankets and pillows, talking and laughing until we fall asleep. No Exaggeration. Beds are vacant.

Ask anyone who really knows The Jacksons.

i know, i know, what you are thinking: Why in the world would you do such a thing?

we are the Jackson sisters. we are bonded.

“We are sisters. We will always be sisters. Our differences may never go away, but neither, for me, will our song.”

-Elizabeth Fishel

Our lil Obama

Thursday documented the day one of my baby sisters graduated. She graduated from seminary, YW, and High School....and had to speak at all of them! It is amazing how quickly time flies. Whether it was getting into bubble baths with our pajamas still on (when mom wasn't looking), pretending to be spies in the dumpsters of our developing neighborhoods in Colorado, or having 3 Jackson girls compete in the 5a State Track Meet, representing  both of the rival high schools, we are still experiencing life together one step at a time. We are a team: We laugh together, We cry together. We support each other. We grow together.
I love my sisters.

I just cannot believe how quickly they are growing up into beautiful, mature, ambitious women.

 
 Hannah is the Senior Class President of Layton High and one of her responsibilities included speaking at graduation. After numerous hours spent memorizing and preparing, she delivered a solid speech in front of thousands of her peers, educators, and their families. As she concluded, I just wanted to stand on my chair and scream to the entire stadium, "I am related to that INCREDIBLE girl, right there!!!!"


Hannah, I am proud of you. I love you. I am thrilled to have you join Chels and I at the "Y" this year.
You are definitely going places...
and I will ALWAYS be in the front row cheering for you as you do.
